Utterly brilliant.
Remember buying New Rose from the Rock On stall in Soho Market when it came out.
Odd to think of it now, but in those days you had to go to specific places to get records. It was a private grapevine.Arty Morty wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:45 pmCouldn't agree more, Reg, except I bought my New Rose from Costless Records in Wood Green.Reg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:43 pmThe Damned were, and still are, one ofthe most underrated bands of all time.Arty Morty wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:32 pm Grace - Jeff Buckley

I was a bit too young to get into those private gigs. My best mate's older brother was a different case though. He used to go to Le Beat Route and introduced us to bands like Spandau and A certain Ratio long before they were heard of. His band, Distorted Images (terrible) supported Infa Riot (also terrible) a couple of times. My first gig was funnily enough the Damned at the Electric Ballroom as part of their tour in '78.Reg wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:54 pmOdd to think of it now, but in those days you had to go to specific places to get records.

Remember when the Pistols were doing SPOTS and that kind of thing mates would phone and say I’ve heard there’s a gig here or there, and you’d end up in some godforsaken place as a 16 year old, and have to walk home in a cold sweat-soaked shirt because you couldn’t afford a night bus.
In those days parents weren’t taxi drivers.
